Hi Everyone,

I made it!!! Got the COPR on August 6 and hoped on a plane the next day. Everything went smoothly at the customs. All bags made it through.

I am now sitting at my home in CA and quarantining for the next 14 days. May God help you and your spouses. Feel free to ask me any travel related questions, I’ll try to answer as much as I experienced and learned.

I got an update that medical is not required at the moment. Given some people have got an updated passed status, I would imagine they will request it. Its like an application all over again.. and gckey is not fulfilling its use. I mean it is the same as before when you had in progress or decision made. Now you have many factors which will change all at once.. i am now hoping for May 2021 as expected date..?

Is there anyone here dealing with Dakar visa office? And does anyone know when will this visa office open ? Are they even working with Covid19?

Our application has been approved!

Finally some good news to share, my application has been in London Visa office since November 2019 and as far as I'm aware I must be one of the first in a long time to hear anything good from LVO.

As it happens I was due to fly out on Tuesday the 18th to be with my partner after being apart for 9 months. Last time I checked you still couldn't land/validate your COPR, is this still the case? As this could change our plans if it's worth waiting for and to properly move out rather than just to visit.

Any guesses as to how long it'll take to receive COPR in the mail too?

Hope everyone else starts hearing good news too!

Congrats!! Really glad things are starting to move (albeit slowly) for some people.

I saw this thread about the landing process once you have COPR; not sure if their discussion answers your question? https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/landing-process.696740/

I don't know about average time to receive COPR in the mail in the current pandemic situation... from what I can see of @pasifico's timeline, looks like they got PPR in March and received COPR in August... so that single case was about 5 months from PPR to COPR. I think not enough people have received COPRs recently though for us to have a good idea of what the average time frame is in pandemic circumstances.
